If this is an issue, you can buy frozen vegetables (unprepared) which can be as good as fresh if the fresh stuff is not very fresh. Those last forever, and you can reseal the bag easily. Flour, rice, noodles only go bad if you get moths. Spices can lose some taste, but you can just use a little bit more.

If you pay a lot more as a single-person household, you have an excellent opportunity for improvement on your hands.

They can develop mold, which sometimes is not noticeable, but will attract booklice. I have had that happen to a bag of rice. There are also rice weevils.

Oh, and I didn't consider climate. In a region with high humidity and temperature this might be a bit more difficult.

I thought flour rice and noodles were unhealthy now?
